What's the most surreal thing someone in the street has said to you?

Once sitting on a bench outside Liverpool Street station and this happened

Him: "Ever been stabbed?"

Me: "No."

Him: "Well I have. It isn't nice.

Me: "Ok.. *continues eating Burger*
 
This was not in the street but I was in the A and E in Glasgow waiting for someone. I was sitting near a man with a gaping cut on his arm. I think a man that worked there walked past and said "I see you've met the wild life".

At the traffic crossing in Belfast city centre I had a woman look me in the eye and say "If you come with me now I'll give you the best afternoon of your life"

A good friend of mine had something very similar from an apparently attractive girl in a pub.

"I've just moved in round here and don't really know the town very well. If you're free some time how about coming round to my place to **** me?"
 
I was queuing at the bank with my ex. And some really old guy comes up to us and says.

"Wife wanted to know what I wanted for dinner tonight, so I told her i'll have a chinky."

He burst into laughter, so I assumed it was some sort of old racist joke so I fake laughed as did the ex. Turns out he used to be a Member of House of Lords. (Showed me his ID card)

Around 30 minutes later we are in a different shop and he comes over to talk to us again. Same joke and that. We then noticed he was literally walking around telling everyone the same stuff.

Was a quite posh old guy. Poor sod.
 
Another one that didn't happen "in the street" but is definitely the most random thing I've ever heard. Worked in a shop with a girl who was a bit dim (to put it politely) and she was checking somebody out at the register. Out of nowhere she asked the customer "....what's a communist?" :confused: Understand there was absolutely no context for this question - they hadn't been chatting or anything.....just totally out of the blue!
 
My Dad used to have a bit of a 'Harold Shipman' look about him, including beard and HUGE old glasses. We were out walking the dog one afternoon and a drunk guy comes up to us and slurs 'you shoulda gone to specsavers' at him!
He got new glasses soon after, despite years of nagging from my Mum / me, it took a drunk guy to persuade him!
 
I had a monday off work once, so I decided to visit the aqaurium at Hastings, then I took a walk along the beach. The out of the blue some guy starts walking beside me and asks.

"Do you think these trousers are too baggy?"
"Err no."
"Ah good, because I'm about to go play squash"

Then he just powerwalked past me.

Hastings is the center of weird comments, had a old chap with no teeth talking to me about something the other day. Not sure what, but it was something!

hehe im 25 and got asked if my parents were in about 3 months ago in my own house. I didnt really know how to respond so I just said "No" technically not a lie and avoided me having to deal with said salesman/JW/charity worker
 
Walking down the street the other day and I stop to crouch and tie my shoe laces properly as one was coming loose. I get up and suddenly to my side is what can only be described as a giant old man, who looked exactly as I would imagine Father Christmas to look like (beard and all), except he was wearing a long black coat and ragged snow hat and gloves. In a suitably deep and old english accent, he says to me in a very slow and elongated fashion, "Did you have a coin for a cup of tea?". Still in a bizarre state of awe, I pause for what seems like an eternity untill I realise he was asking me a question. I say "Sorry, I don't have anything" and slowly walk off, accelerating to a slight jog a few yards later.

I don't exactly live in a very nice neigbourhood, but this guy definitely was not from around here.
